This is the moment CCTV cameras which would have captured a fatal attack in Grimsby town centre were deliberately moved on the orders of the killer's wife.

The footage shows cameras being swung round on the instructions of Freshney Place security manager Sarah Finnie as her husband prepares to carry out a fatal attack on homeless Tosh Richardson.

Realising the attack in Old Market Place would be caught on the shopping centre’s CCTV, she told her staff manning the camera to instead ‘look for a suspicious man on Victoria Street’.

Minutes later Finnie’s husband walks up to homeless Tosh as he sits outside the Halifax bank and subjects him to a brutal attack in broad day light from which he died the following day.

The footage was shown on the ITV show Judge Rinder’s Crime Stories, which featured Tosh’s killing and the investigation to catch his killers.

The camera footage played a key part in securing a conviction against Sarah Finnie who had denied any knowledge of the killing despite her husband Mark admitting the attack.

Finnie had phoned her husband and asked him to confront Tosh after he subjected her to abuse in Freshney Place when he was being kicked out.

Speaking on the programme, Detective Chief Inspector Stewart Miller of Humberside Police said Finnie was aware the cameras would then capture the attack and asked them to be moved.

He said: “The CCTV operator has then moved the camera from its default position looking down Market Place which included where Tony Richardson was sat, then the cameras panned 90 degrees to the left.

“The CCTV operator zooms in, zooms out, moves the camera around looking for a suspicious male. There isn’t one. There never was one. It was a complete lie.

“The fact that the camera, that was indirectly under the control of Sarah Finnie, moved at the exact time that the attack was going to take place just gave me absolute assurance that this was a deliberate attack, that it been planned, between Marc Finnie and Sarah Finnie.”

But even though Marc Finnie handed himself into police and admitted the attack, Sarah Finnie’s insistence that she knew nothing about the killing was described on the Judge Rinder programme, which aired last month, as ‘callous and calculating’.

Psychologist Emma Kenny told the show: “Sarah chooses not to plead guilty and that says something utterly staggering about her personality. She is willing to hang her husband as long as she walks free and yet again that shows a huge miscalculation both of her actions and of the justice system. Which takes very negatively to people who have a lack of conscience.

“What’s really concerning about Sarah’s behaviour is how premeditated it is. She calculates that the CCTV footage needs to be away from where her husband is going to attend Anthony so she actually fabricates a situation occurring so it deflects the attention. That is cunning. It’s cunning and it’s callous.

“She thinks by diverting attention on the CCTV footage she can get away with it. But the truth is that’s how little she has thought this out. CCTV is everywhere. It’s powerful, it’s elaborate. The missing piece is only a tiny part of the jigsaw puzzle.”

Marc and Sarah Finnie were convicted of manslaughter by a jury of seven women and five men at Sheffield Crown Court in May. The pair, of Sutcliffe Avenue, were cleared of murder.

Finnie, 44, was jailed for eight years - he always admitted it was him who had attacked Anthony 'Tosh' Richardson outside the Halifax bank - and his wife, 36, was locked up for seven years.

Tosh's mum Lynne Walker, who attended the trial, told the programme the pair had shown no compassion to her 'loving' son who was well known in Grimsby.

She said: "They weren't bothered about anything or anyone just themselves. There was no remorse."
